Tim O'Brien in the Netherlands - April/May 2017

A January 2017 update of solo performances by Tim O'Brien during his exclusive short tour of the European continent.

At this writing, Tim is preparing liner notes to his latest recording "Where the River Meets the Road", which is due for relase in March 2017. Tim writes in his blog, "The new record focuses on West Virginia music. Besides High Flying Bird, there are songs by Bill Withers, the Bailes Brothers, the Lilly Brothers, the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, Doc Williams, Hazel Dickens, Edden Hammons, Larry Groce, and John Lilly. I also contributed two originals, both about my own family. After a long year of touring, we got home in late October and I started the process, recorded in November, mixed in December, and now am finishing the liner copy as 2017 begins. I had a blast making the record and tried my best to showcase the wide range of music from my home state. I had good helpers and I’ll leave it at that - you’ll hear more soon!"
